Overview

The Power Reaper is one of the best picks for players wanting to be more independent of their party. Due to large amounts of self-produced Vulnerability, Quickness, Might, Stability and damage mitigation, it is good in parties where your teammates do not perform very well.

The Power Reaper has multiple offensive skill options (Pull, boon corruptions for Mistlock Instability: No Pain, No Gain , Blinded, Immobile, etc.) Power Reaper can modify itself to fit many given situations in fractals.

It benefits from slaying potions such as Powerful Potion of Slaying Scarlet's Armies and Superior Sigil of Impact .

Situational Skills

Your most damaging option for a third utility. Deals some AoE damage as well as applying Blinded and Chilled to targets inside the well.
A strong AoE boon corrupt which can be used on days withMistlock Instability: No Pain, No Gain. If you are the one responsible to strip all boons on MAMA and Arkk, take Corrupt Boon instead.
A 1200 range teleport skill that can double as a projectile blocker for fights like Old Tom in the Uncategorized Fractal .
A secondary teleport skill that allows one to solo the turret room in the Thaumanova Fractal . Also great for consuming conditions on consoles in the Aetherblade Fractal .
A useful 1200 range 5 target pull to help stack up golems at the Chaos Anomaly fight or the adds in the Arkk fight. It also provides an extra 150 defiance bar damage. Hits up to five times if you cast it inside a mob with other enemies outside.
A defensive utility to help mitigate conditions on you, as well as apply extra Chill for usage with Cold Shoulder
A useful skill for mitigating projectiles.
Makes your attacks unblockable, great to break the Ooze in Thaumanova Reactor Fractal . It is great to have at Volcanic Boss in Volcanic fractal and Champion Dredge in Underground Facility too.
Swap with Well of Darkness if you need a meat shield at the cost of personal DPS (best use in Siren’s Reef and Molten Boss fractals).
Depending on the amount of foes hit, this elite skill can grant yourself up to 12 stacks of Stability and Might, as well as a long lasting Quickness and Fury duration.
Best heal skill option outside of single target encounters.
Skill Usage

Precasting

  • Staff marks if possible
  • Use Lich Form (Elite) to precast Summon Madness (Skill 4).
  • If you have Mistfire Wolf (Deluxe Upgrade) precast it on encounters that are too far away from the Mistlock Singularity to make use of your Lich precast.
  • Alternativly Spectral Walk can be used before taking a portal to precast your Summon Madness and still being able to take the Mistlock Singularity.
  • Optional: Precast "Rise!" (Utility) and swap back to your combat skills.

Notes

The given rotation below is meant for a golem-like scenario and has to be adapted based on phase-lengths/exposed/mechanics/the following aspects:

  • Take into account exposed/impact burst windows!
  • Since most fractal phases are on a faster pace, you might have to use your Soul Spiral (Shroud 4) earlier.
  • Death's Charge (Shroud 2) deals a decent chunk of its damage at the end of the cast, so it can be beneficial to skip it towards the end of a phase.
  • All shouts require to stand in melee range (240 range) to get their full value.
  • Infusing Terror (first instance of shroud 3) should always be utilised during shroud to prevent getting interrupted and to reduce the loss of Life Force from incomming damage for 6s. Keep in mind that Terrify (second instance of shroud 3) ends the damage mitigation and can interrupt e.g. Soul Spiral (Shroud 4), so be careful to not double cast it by accident.

Below 50% hp

  • Close to Death increases all of your strike damage.
  • Gravedigger (Greatsword 2) has no recharge cooldown anymore.
  • Skip Dark Pact (Dagger 3), Devouring Visage (Sword 5), and Greatsword Auto-Attacks for more Gravdiggers.
  • Only use Death Spiral if you need additional Life Force.
  • Below 25% boss HP Executioner's Scythe (Shroud 5) deals its highest amount of damage.
